On School Care Matters, a series of eight podcasts, the School Care Team unpacks the Indiana Department of Education’s Social-Emotional Competencies. We discuss what social-emotional learning is, who it’s for, and why it’s important. We describe how to develop, model, and measure social-emotional competency. Then we take a deeper dive into each of the seven competencies: Sensory-Motor Integration, Insight, Regulation, Connection, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Mindset. We offer a definition and indicators for each competency, as well as practical tools and strategies for developing and teaching them.
